Graduated

So having graduated I took a bit of time out and now I'm getting back into things.

Spent all day listing new things on ebay so feel free to check out myworld on ebay....

Also I've started to dabble in Roman cooking techniques which I hope to document on here. I don't think my neighbours appreciated my first attempt at making Garum but now that the smell has cleared I think I am ready to really work my way through my copy of the "Apicius" or "De re coquinaria".

Anyway to finish with here's a few things I added to my online store....
